Side Seal Spring Orientation
So, I am a little confused. Racing Beat's tech section says "Remember to keep the ends of the side seal springs “up” when installing them." However, the FSM says keep the paint down. The pictures in the FSM appear to show the springs going up as is the orientation in stated by Racing Beat, but the paint looks like it should go the other way. So paint up or down into the rotor?

Perfect! Thanks. For some reason some of my paint is on the wrong side. That is the orientation I thought it was supposed to be.
